Commentaries on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Commentaries on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the RomansOn no portion of the New Testament have so many Commentaries been written as or the Epistle to the Romans. We have indeed no separate Comment extant by any of the Fathers on this Epistle; though it has been explained, together with other parts of Scripture, by Origen in the third century; by Jerome, Chrysostom, and in part by Augustine, in the fourth; by Theodoret in the fifth; by Œcunienius in the tenth; and by Theophylact in the eleventh century. But since the Reformation, many separate Expositions have been published, beside a learned Introduction by Lather, and Notes or Scholia by Zuingle and Melancthon.The first complete Commentary, as it appears, was written by Bullinger; the second by Bucer, a Professor of Theology at Cambridge for a short time in the reign of Edward the Sixth; and the next in order of time was this Work by Calvin, composed at Strasburg in the year 1539. The fourth was by Peter Martyr; and this was translated into English in the year 1568. Another was afterwards publish ed by Rodolph Gualter, Minister at Zurich.Early in the next century the learned Pareus delivered lectures on this Epistle, as Professor of Theology in the University of Heidelberg - a work of great learning and of great merits, though written in a style too scholastic to suit the taste of the present day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
